TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY listraotsfrem the Morning Paper s,March 15,18/6. [BRITISH PItESS.] The eloquent and impressive speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in bringing in the Budget, was well calculated to quiet the appre hensions which so much pains had been previ ously taken to excite as to the financial condition of the country. His clear and candid statement contained all that was necessary to satisfy the public, and to justify the immense majority, both within and without the walls of Parliament, de voted to the principles of his administration. The firm and dignified tone'in which he repelled the taunt of Mr. Hume, so frequently thrown out against himself and his colleagues, of retaining expensive and useless offices on account of the patronage annexed to them, was highly ho nourable to him as a Minister and as ate an. His disinterested desire to have every. pblic office ably and effectively filled is well known; no man cares to have the best attributes of his character wrested from him, and to be held up to the re proach of the country, where he is most consci ous of deserving its confidence and its praise ; it was therefore with a proper feeling of self esteem that he challenged the public appro bation, for not suffering the loss of patronage to act as an impediment to a wise and honest measure, or to stand in the way of any retrench ment which the efficient service of the country de mended. The Right Hon. Gentleman'sstatement on Monday night caused, we believe, no small surprise to many, who imagined that the late confusion and embarrassments of trade would be found to have extended to the finances of the country. He p re f a ced the details of hisstate ment, by an expose of his fi nancial measures since he first accepted office, sufficient to soften the rigour of those even who were most stubbornly ••disposed to sinister anticipations. The relief to the country from a considerable weight of taxa , tion ; the reduction of duties, in order to extend our commerce, and the fulfilment of his predic tions with respect to the result of those measures, together with numerous proofs of the national - prosperity which ensued, were all opportunely recapitulated : in touching on the late revul sions, he estimated the loss to the revenue which might arise from them at about 1,300,0001. W e confess that whether we consider the origin or extent of those difficulties, they appear to us to lit - orient a momentary impediment to our progress . t4. , * shock arising from the sundeu extinction of a quantity of fictitious capital, which had exist ed too short a time to become intimately con nected with the industry of the country ; one of these natural fluctuations in the commercial fora tune of the nation, which no human prudence could avert. With respect to the dead weight .annuities, he stated distinctly that he did not 'think that the arrangement made with the Bank was quite unobjectionable, but at the same time he could not understand time force of all the ergo rnents used against it. Now, It appears to us, that, viewed merely as a financial measure, that arrangement is liable to very little objection, if to any at all ; and this shall continue to be our opinion until, at least, it lie sbewn us how an equal sum might have been raised on terms more advantageous to the public ; but as far as the Batik was concerned in it, and induced to ad vance money on inconvertible security ) we think it wholly unjustifiable. r Tllll TIMES.] A subject of some importance, as well to the general administration of justice as to the partici'. tar ioterests of those who pay the rates and as. sessinents of Middlesex, bus occupied for nearly two years past the attention of the Magistrates in this Metropolitan County. The office of the Perk of the Peace appears, from the repented reports of a Committee of Magistrates, appointed t April, 1824, end still continued in the !,,',,four of investigating certain twitters alleged #grtinst that office, to Imo long been a scene of irregularity and confusion, equally discre. altahle to those concerned, and injurious to Oh' public at large. it seems that while shelves end rooms arts crammed with insignifi cant papers, even to vagrant orders, constables' egturns of jurors, calenders of prisotiere, exc., tice, 140 years told, with recognieances anti rrtents of the reign of Edward V I.! the more interesting and useful transactions of our own times !hive, by some strange means or other • been made to from among the records of the county. In fact, the committee above I alluded to 114.1 appointed to inquire after the eic,erde of the Middlesex sessions for the 7 3 4; i.qo, 1806, 1807, which are said to be keither mole actor less than lost. If tins were „i f i c neg li get ice, it would reflect. .10 110 slight aerie Alpo the. i;lerk of the Peace and the subalterns in his oince ; but the . Magistrates ileport very plaioly their Chat it i s not , to remissness but corruption we owe the rubbery of the public rer.ords. They state, that large additional salaries have been paid to certain subordinate functionaries in the above Ace, since yeer lot; ; pod hint, that it might not be 14g1VrAlent to some parties to have the county etChilies too closely scrutinized, in a. search for the authority under which such an increase of oikisl emolument has been received, at the public espence. it milli:arm, moreover, that cmtein offices have Wien enjoyed by one anti the same person, in violation of an express order and restilntion of thelnagistretes that gross deceptions have been' practised upon iedividuals as to the source from whence they received their incomes; that.peti. Liana LA the magistrates, complaining of, and de. iran dinit redress for, such deceptious, have " not boot en tered ie the minutes of the proceedings of d0 ,c 00 0, 0, because they would expose the per. stooragg iot whom they were .ditected; that a atitaance Wks iwito manifested by parties grt:itree9;toilostiou before the magistrates to e upon the mewls through which, threw any lig hirh p 0 ü blic ves O the Poiru e9 lurvr w l siV 1 : 3 81 7 that archi infinite Wee !wen put out of eii; ' I e toolittrectioti aad delay to public business tav I s Bl l4 a torieueuitrom the Union" O f haterQge. neous offices in the same persons—from want of " due attention in certain departments of the " office of Clerk of the Peace"—from "the irre gular attendance of, officers"—from unsuccess ful searches for hooks and papers—and from the imperfect record or frequent omission of the orders of Conn and proceedings of Magistrates. The opinion of the reforming committee amounts to this, --that the " whole system is at pre cc sent highly disreputable to the Clerk of " the Peace and to the county, and requires " to be thoroughly reformed and properly or " ganized." We are very sure that these reports, which constitute a series of four in number, from December, 1824, to the 15th of the same month in 1825, reflect credit on the Magistrates from whom they have issued, and might well be sub mitted to the Secretary for the Home Depart ment, who seems to undertake with conscien tious , alacrity whatever enterprize may conduce to the interests and facilitate the administration of justice. [NEW TI M ES.] Owing to some accidental circumstance, the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer re lative to the comparative productiveness of the Revenue in the beginning of the years 189.5 and 1826 respectively, was generally understood, both by the Members present, and by the Re porters, to allude only to the month of 'January. Indeed, Mr.Maberly complained that the accounts were not brought up to the 2d of March. The truth, however, is, that Mr. Robinson referred to a statement of the produce of the two first months. We have, therefore, a proof that the trying month o f February has passed over without any mate rial effect . On the Revenue. The whole produce' of the Excise . Duties for , January and February, 1825, was 2,259,660/, and of the correspondent period in 1826, 2,257,2801. leaving, indeed, an advantage on the side of the first-mentioned pe riod--but what sort of advantag e ? Two Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Pounds on a • sum of Two Millions and a Quarter —that is to say, about One Pound in a Thousand. —So trifling has been the impression made on the Finances by the Commercial Distress ! We do not mention this with a view to underrate the real evil of the late embarrassments ; but to show that there is still ground to reckon largely on the growing prosperity of the country, and to prove that its resources, which supply the current of taxation, have not been, to any seri ous degree, injured. - [MORNING CURONICI.E.] A circumstance was mentioned last night by Lord King,—whose speeches have contributed so much to foment the irritation against landowners, which, as Sir Matthew W. Ridley observed, Hit do not subside, threatens to diminish very much the Wilk) , of their services to the country,—that has embarrassed us exceedingly with respect to the course we should follow in the case of the -Corn Laws. We were awnreof the fact to which . . . he alludes, of. the Country Gentlemen, towards the close of the war, being at a loss to deter mine whether it would be most advisable to de fraud the public creditor, or to tax the consumers of corn, and that, owing to the reluctance of Ministers, the latter course was adopted. But Lord King says, " there was an alliance formed bet Ween the Government, the Landlords and the Clergy. • The Government wanted high taxes, the Landlords high rents, and the Clergy high tithes. The Government had relented, but the Landlords and the Clergy were still• obdurate." When 'we heard this, a ray of light flashed across oar mind. It immediately occurred to us that we had never heard any Member (lithe Bench of Bishops speak against the Corn Bill, either due log regular discussions or in presenting Petitions; and' if the Lord Chancellor took the approbation of' the 'Bench of Bishops of the prattice of man stealing, as at least a strong presumption of its being in accordance with the spirit of the Christian Religion, the approbation of the Bench of Bishops of the Corn Laws leads us, in like manner, to doubt whether Christianity do not demand the continuance of these Laws. It is clear that the Corn Laws,,, • by raising the price of Corn, raise the value of Tithes ; and, whatever some may think now, we aro sure, that any man who pro posed to lower the value of Tithes 800 years ago would have been in danger of Suffering by fire as a heretic. The Corn Laws must be good for the souls of the people, if not for their bodies, if the spiritual guides of . the nation contend . fortheM. The peke of Athol, -since he hit the ungrateful Weavers of Perth so hard blow, has been in retirement on his laurels ; .. and the task of cutting up Lord King, by pointed sarcasms, seems in the interim to have devolved on the Earl of Limeric. His Lordship said a good thing last night, which will not soon be forgotten. Lord King having lest night called the Corn Laws the bead Weight of the Country, the Earl of Limeric, with all the ready wit of his nation, instantly observed, that, 46 his speeches might amuse, but they would have no weight with their Lordships." here his'opponent found himself in a cleft stick; for after Well a smart sarcasm, ho could not re. tort, " that the speeches of the Noble Earl might have weight with their Lordships, hut could not amuse them." How delightful thisintellectual gladiatorshil7l But the question is, how long Lord King will be able to bear up against so much pungency ? [MORNING ewer.] The business in Parliament last night was not of much importance. In the Lords, a debate took place upon the question of the second reading of the Promissory Notes Bill ; but not a single son., tence of novelty was urged on this already most thoroughly discuised subject. The Earl of Car. narvon moved an amendment that the Bill be rend a second time that day six months, which was negatived without a division, and the original motion carried. in the course of the discussion the Parl of Liverpool gave notice that on Friday night he should move the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire in Id the state of the Banking System Ireland and Scotland, before be should propose the extension of the present miTsure to those countrif.s.—Tlie Martioii of Lansttown, . n moving for an accomit of the imports and Ex. ports of the free port of Sincapore in the East Indies, gave some interesting details of the im mense benefits produced by the establishment of that place as a free port in that distant part of the world and in the midst of savage nations. He spewed that in less than three years its trade had more than doubled itself, and that it was highly important for the best interests of our Indian Em. pire, that no check should be given by local regu lations which would operate as restrictions upon the liberty of commerce, to the growing prosperity of that future emporium of the trade of China and all the civilizing States of the extreme East.— In the House of Commons Mr. Wilmot Horton moved for the appointment of a Select Commit. tee, to enquire into the expediency of encou• raging Emigration to Canada. To the number which had already been sent thither, many more were anxious to go from Ireland ; and if the ex pence could be reduced so low as 20/. for each individual, it would prove a desirable mode of improving the condition of the lower orders of that country.—The Bill for preventing Bribery at Elections, after a short conversation, was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Monday.—The. Mutiny 13111 was read a third time and passed.—Lord Lowther obtained leave' to bring in a Bill to consolidate certain Turnpike Trusts in the county of Middlesex, with a view :o correct irregularities and remedy some exist ng abuses in those concerns. [MORNING HERALD.] ~ast night, the Earl of Liverpool, in the ,ouse of Lords, and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer in the House of Commons, in the course of the discussions that took place in each House, on the Banking System, the Scotch Paper Cur. rency, &c., said that they would severally move for Committees to enquire into the Banking Sys tern of Ireland and Scotland, and thus afford the petitioners, of Scotland in particular, the opportunity of proving the truth of their alle gations. Mr. A bercromby denied that the petitions spoke the sense of Scotland—they only ' urged the sentiments of Select Committees ; and he observed, that well as he knew his court tryznen, he eras surprised at the umblushing confidence with which the petitions and the sen timents of them were urged ! Tie added that the best portion of the press, of Scotland in par ticular, on this question, supported the cause of truth and the suppression of one pound notes. Mr. W. Dundas, Mr. H. Drummond, &c. con tended-that the petitions did speak the language of Scotland ; that the people there were unani mously against alteration ; and they were sur prised how any lion. and Learned Member could with unblushing confidence assert the contrary. [TUC PUBLIC Ltnocit.l The French Papers, as well as the German Journals which reached us yesterday, gave a more favourable account of the state of trade on the Continent generally, than they had given for a long lime before. Confidence has begun to re vive every where ; and we may therefore congra tulate our commercial readers upon the speedy revival of foreign trade in all its branches. Our own resources are undiminished, as the Chan cellor of the Exchequer has proved to the satisfaction of every one whose mind is not warped by the grossest prejudices, in the lumi nous, candid, and üble statement he gave on Monday night. That speech must make as salu tary an impression upon the country at large, as it proved satisfactory to the House of Commons : and when the Public learn how trilling the amount of injury is, as compared to the violence of the late shock, they will be better able to ap preciate the national stamina, and will look to the future with much greater confidence. That Expo.e, when sufficient time is allowed for di» Besting it, will be the subject of universal con gratulation, as it triumphantly proves that there is no concussion, however violent, that can materially affect the credit of this great 1 country. Instead of retrograding, therefore, in the career of national prosperity, we may ex pect to continue our course forward with unabated vigour ; and there is no part of the Right lion. Gentleman's speech in which we so heartily con cur, as where he expresses his confidence in the stability of our national resources. Indeed, we cannot understand upon what grounds any one can come at a different conclusion. The genius of improvement is more active every clay, and useful knowledge is ad wincing rapidly ; whilst, to crown the whole, the care of the public interests is confided to as tutelary a Government as ever existed in this or any other country. To say, that under these favourable circumstance*, our , prosperity, as a nation, should not increase, would be a perfect solecism in reasoning ; and to attempt to raise an alarm in the public mind, to our future situation, can only proceed from a total want, either of right feeling, or of clear perception. Or it would betray an inordinate love of paradox, which never yet was associated in the same mind with a clear and comprehensive judgment. [Tilt REPRPENTATIV E .3 The French Chambers on th e 11th were not occupied with any thing o f importance. In ti r e' Deputies', they were employed about petitions from various individuals, among which two only excited any interest. One of them required a regulation of the Game Laws, so as to prohibit the universal currying of arms, which, the peti tion declared, ruined the game. In the d ebate on this petition, M. Purnarin said, that the privl. lege of carrying arms universally was owing to a regulation under Buonaparte, and the H aase seemed to be so impressed with the propriety of calling him Napoleon, that they b urs t out laughing. The business, after very little debating, wee referred to the Minister of 111 ,e interior.— The only other question of interest arose from a petiti on a ga i ns t the Lottery. The French lot teries ar e qu it e different from ours, and from their offsp r i ng t h e possibility of risking stakes of all kinds, high and low, are much more d ec id e dly Casimirgamli s n u g p . pre M ssiOHantl eerier spoke in f avou r of their d ° Villele, admitted that gaming o f th e lotteries was very im moral, and that the Government played with a great advantage over the buyers of tickets. The combinations he allowed were such as to make it inevitable that the majority of players must lose. It is rather evident that this must be the case in all lotteries ; but it drew down on the Ati.nis ter the virtuous indignation of many Depu ties, who cried out, 64 why then make dupes ? it is an immoral game." M. de Villele parried this as well as he could, by asserting that last year it was less injurious than at any for mer period; " I add (said he), that the year 1825 was the year in which the riches and prosperity of the country reached its greatest height." The fact is, that the lottery is too good a source of revenue to be lost, anti what could be said in its favour in England, is of course to be urged in France. In M. Casimir Perier's reply, that gentle man asserted that the three per cents. were w hat really had vaccinated France with the present passion for gaming. It may be permitted to us to doubt the correctness of the Honourable Mem ber's facts, as well as of his metaphor. The con versation had no practical effect, for after a few more useless remarks, the discussion dropped, and the House adjourned. WEST INI)LA DOCKS.

CAllb MARIA VON WEBER was born in the year 1786 at Eutin, in Holstein. While a boy .he displayed a great taste for music and painting, and to these arts he devoted all the time he could spare from his more serious studies. His father, who was a man of independent mil.'. and fortune, was fond of changing his residence, and settling for some time at Hiltiburghausen, young Weber (then but ten 'years old) laid, under II euschkal, the foundation of that spirited . and expressive mode of performance on the piano-forte for which , he is so dis tinguished. His father, perceiving his son's great talents for music, determined to spare no expense in their'cultivation. He accordingly took hint to Saltzburg, and placed him under the celebrated Michael Haydn ; but Weber, who was now but twelve years of age, from some cause or other, learned but little from his illustrious master. In 1798 his father, to en courage him, had six fugues of his composing printed. He was then but thirteen. Of this his first published work, the Journal of Music expressed itself in very favourable terms. — At the end of this year the elder Weber, finding that he had no chance of attaining the object for which he had placed Bi ts s on under Haydn, took him to Munich, to receive instructions from the singer Valesi, where he also studied composition un- der Katcher, to whose attentive, clear, and gradually pion rsg and'. res sive instructions he was mainly indebted for the acquisit expert use of the principal aids of his art. At this time he la-• boured with unabated industry. His inclination for the drama now first developed itself. and he composed, under the eye ol Katcher, his first opera, hie ilfachi der Liebe nod des Wein: (the Power of Love and Wine). lie also compose d a masque a nd some other pieces , but these were all destroyed in a fire which broke out in his master's house, and which was neat cost ing our young artist his life. This event made a deep impression on his mind, and turned his thoughts for some time from all mu sical pursuits. Just at this time Senefelder invented at Munich the art of lithography, and the idea caught the mind of Weber of bringing it to a greater degree of perfection. lie had long had the fundamental idea of this art in his mind, and nothing but. his musical studies had prevented him from putting it earlier into execution; but now that Senefelder had introduced it, he applied himself with redoubled zeal to the accomplishment of It. He made a hundred diffinent attempts, and at last suc ceeded in constructing a machine which, in his view, far ex ceeded that of his rival. In order to construct a large machine,. according to his model, he went with his father to Freiburg, in Saxony, where every thing necessary for his work was to be had in abundance ; but the tediousness of the operation soon disgusted him, and, in a fit of ill-humour, he gave it up, and once more returned to music, and pursued his composi tion with renewed energy. At the age of tburteen he composed the music of Weinsberg's opera of the liraldotadehen, which was brought out at Dresden in the 1800, with the highest ap probation. It was performed with the greatest success at Prague, Vienna, Berlin, and St. PetersbUrgh : but Weber has since expressed his regret at its extensive circulation, as he regards it as merely an insignifi ca nt yeuthful work, only as niy to be admired as indicating fertil it y of invention. An article the Journal of Music excited in him the idea of employing in his future works the old instruments which had gone out of use. This he first attempted •in his opera of Peter* Schneoll lord sane 2.lrachbarn. which turned out a failure, The overture he afterwards re-cast and printed. In 10 hur 02 he made with his father, a mu sical tour to Leipzig, fiatngb, and Holstein, during which he collected the works of the great masters of the theory of music. The study of these works ex cited in him doubts which determined him to reject all that had been hitherto established , a nd to erect a musical edifice of his own, only retaining such rules of the old masters as should be confirmed by his own reflections. Having settled his systerne he proceeded to Vienna, where he became acquainted with se veral eminent men. especia ll y with the elder Haydn, a nsnle so well known in England, and with the Abbe Vogler, who received the advances of the . youth with kindness, end freely communicated to hint the treasures of his knowledge. DY Vogler's advice he now, though very reluctantly, gave over composing extensive works, and during two entire ed himself' to the study of the various works of great Masters, whose compositions he analysed with his instructor, and by private study he endeavoured to make himself master of their principles. At this period he composed nothing but a heir principles. While at Vienna. thought but eighteen years of ages le ft received an invitation to go to Breslaw as Director of• Music. In that place a new aid opened to him ; he reformed the singers and orchestra, re-modelled several of his Willi: compositions, and composed the greater part of the opers Q t Rubezahl, written by Rhode. The rather unpleasant duties; of his office prevented him engaging in any woike of greate magnitude; he was, therefore, not at all displeased at a 1 111 , 11 * mom' to Carlsruhe, front Duke Eugene of Wirtemberte, all: cere lover of the arts. At Carlsruhe he was enabled to 'c l e l e low his own inclinations, and he composed his opera r. S'ilvane, a re-ma of the IVoldrnaddien, made by Hirman ; I!: also composed his celebrated c3ntata, Der erste' Ton, and farts also rid overtures, symphonies, and pieces for the piano-forM, Even in Carlsruhe he felt himself confined, and in 11110 IntT , years devot out on another tour, and visited Frankfort, Berlin, Mon4r., in which places his operas were performed, and 11011; ing gave delight. . He had also the pleasure of seeing a l e . the worthy Vogler, who introduced him to his two PIT he Gausbachen and Aleyerbeer. In company with the ]utter he of again enjoyed the advantage of the protinind experieenc,'Bll, Vogler, and composed his ()Isere to Abou Hass3n. In ' idst of formed, or rather re-created, every thing ; and it Weber went to Prague, as Direeteir of the Opera, whewt se his rest his laborious employments he found time to c ornpß s ., ee ., o , ed cantata, Kampf and Sleg, a work eminently6;r/P laid down by greatness and abundance of ideas. In MI h p, w h o le to devote • • his employment, resolved from henceforth most critic life to his art alone. But the most flattering and very sow ing offers besieged him on every side. On tn or anti two day he received invitations from, an EmP e . l ho d t o eeta- Kings.
